SPRING, Texas —

The water continues to rise rapidly along Cypress Creek, where crews and even volunteers are desperately trying to get to people trapped in their homes. The big concern is river flooding and whether these dams will overflow.

The conditions became ever more dangerous as local rivers and bayous rose. Along Cypress Creek- north of downtown Houston- the rising water is pushing more people and pets from their homes.

"Today I would say water is rising to six feet right now inside my house and it's totally lost,” said Andy Dang.
